McKillop, Kenneth

Moral theologian; born Goulburn, NSW, 6 February 1890; died Sydney, 27 October 1945, aged 55.

Kenneth McKillop, brother of Colin, after leaving Riverview, studied and practiced law as a solicitor before he entered the Society at Tullamore, Ireland, 20 June 1915. After his juniorate and philosophy at Milltown Park, 1918-21, regency was at Clongowes and theology at Milltown Park, 1922-26. Tertianship followed at Poughkeepsie, St Andrew on Hudson, 1926-27. He spent 1927-29 studying moral theology in Rome.

Returning to Australia in 1929, he professed moral theology at Corpus Christi College, Werribee, until 1941, after which he went to Riverview as spiritual father to the students. In 1937 he attended the Australian Plenary Council in the capacity of canonist to the archbishop of Melbourne and was also secretary of one of the sub-committees.

He was a very big, genial, kind man, slightly scrupulous. He had ill health for some years, maybe breaking down from the strain on a rather sensitive person who had professed moral theology for so long. He felt the responsibility deeply.
